Blue Heeler Coffee offers flavorful, sustainable coffee and freshly made donuts, served with care on Union Grove Farm
By Taylor Motley
Blink and you’ll miss the turn for Union Grove Farm, a nearly 1,100-acre farm nestled between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough that’s all about regenerative agricultural practices. The farm’s newest venture, Blue Heeler Coffee, opened in June 2024 and is a food truck serving up rich, aromatic coffee Monday through Saturday. Led by co-owners Meredith Sabye and Greg Bohlen, Blue Heeler Coffee continues Union Grove’s dedication to sustainability, from brewing fair-trade, organic Larry’s Coffee to providing compostable cups.
Blue Heeler Coffee offers a fixed menu and rotating specials, like the maple-brown-sugar-cinnamon latte that boasts a velvety smooth texture and a balance of sweetness and bitterness. The classics on the menu are equally enjoyable, including the cappuccino, with a delightful, airy froth, and the chai latte, which has the perfect tinge of spice. On Saturdays, visitors are in for an extra treat – mini donuts fried on the spot. As you sip your beverage, Meredith and Greg will be happy to strike up a conversation, discussing regenerative agriculture, coffee or just daily happenings! Consider this charming coffee spot worth the detour to the countryside.
